Excerpt from Lone (Emma-Jane Heaton, 2025)

This is an excerpt from Lone, for which I was the Sound Designer (which also involved recording Foley for the sounds of clothing movement in this excerpt) and Re-Recording Mixer as well as First Assistant Sound on set.

It was a fun challenge to balance all the elements in this sequence to build and maintain tension throughout. I particularly enjoyed finding just the right point for each sound as the beast starts trying to break down the door, to make sure that everything worked together (rather than competing for the same space) to heighten the impact of the scene.

It was also great to feel the benefits of continuity from set to post-production with this — I edited in many of the vocalisations from the man onscreen from a wild track Waqar and took the initiative to record on set, with the gracious and patient actor Michael Timney.

Score: Bruno Gillick

Dialogue Edit & Production Sound Mixer: Waqar Shah
